Scattered Suns

More about the book

One of today's leading science fiction authors, Kevin J. Anderson, known for his Star Wars and X-Files novels, as well as his bestselling Dune prequels, presents a new chapter in the Saga of Seven Suns, an epic of interstellar intrigue. The war between the alien hydrogues and faeros escalates, devastating suns, including one of the seven suns of the Ildiran Empire. Instead of uniting, the Ildirans descend into a bloody civil war, while humanity is deeply divided. The question remains: can they overcome their internal strife to confront a new enemy poised to annihilate them? Mage-Imperator Jora'h, newly ascended to the throne, must quell the rebellion instigated by his deranged brother before the hydrogues destroy the empire. In a desperate move, he sends his half-human daughter on a mission to negotiate peace with the hydrogues. Meanwhile, Jess Tamblyn works to seed worlds with wentals, the hydrogues' adversaries. On the devastated planet of Theroc, a resurrected dead man prepares for new allies in the conflict. However, Chairman Basil Wenceslas's obsession with the Roamers blinds him to the imminent threat posed by the soldier machines of the Hansa. King Peter's long-held suspicions about the Klikiss robots are validated when they initiate a planned extermination of all organic life. In the chaos, both humans and Ildirans face their gravest choices yet.
